'I couldn't touch materials': Daphne Wright on how having a child changed her art

After temporarily turning away from sculpture following the arrival of her first child, the artist's sons are now central to her work  

Daphne Wright has a new exhibition in London in February. 

Few artists maintain as low a profile as Daphne Wright, and yet she is one of the most prestigious Irish artists working today. Based in Dublin, Wright is a member of Aosdána in Ireland and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors in Britain, and exhibits regularly in both countries. 

One exhibition, Deep-Rooted Things, will no sooner finish at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford on February 8 than her next, Expectations, will open at the Frith Street Gallery in London on February 19.
